We have found an old picture of the nephew Hans (Hannes) Pohjanvirta and his mother Malvina Pohjanvirta amongst our great grandmother Erika Emilia Lindqvist (née Höök's b 1862 - d 1954) belongings.
On the photo it says that Hannes moved to USA after the World War One. My great grandmother is originally from Kosken Tehdas (Koskis Bruk) and had siblings whose surname was Nordström which could have been changed to more Finnish sounding Pohjanvirta that was customary in the early 1900. My 2nd great grandmother's name is Erika Vilhelmina Nordström (b 1824 - d?) from Kosken Tehdas-Koskis Bruk, in South East Finland.
It would be interesting to find out where in USA did Hans Pohjanvirta go and if his descendants are still in the US.
